Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Brunnera 'Silver Heart' looks much like 'Looking Glass' but with some important differences: 'Silver Heart' has larger, thicker leaves, it has deeper blue flowers and it is more tolerant of heat and humidity. Brunneras are great garden plants for shade. 'Silver Heart' has even more silver in the heart-shaped leaves than 'Jack Frost' or 'Sea Heart'.

Almost completely silver, the sweet, heart-shaped foliage of this 12 x 24 inch shade-brightening groundcover is also covered in fetching cobalt blue forget-me-not flowers all spring; although these plants look delicate, they are tough and hold up well in heat and humidity; prefect for container, border or fantastic planted en masse.
